The resulting 100,000 acre-feet per year of product <br /> <br />water would be mixed with 35,000 acre-feet of untreated Wellton- <br /> <br />Mohawk wate~ to produce water equivalent to the salinity of the <br /> <br />river at Imperial Dam. The reject stream, which will be carried <br /> <br />to the Gulf of California, initially would be approximately <br /> <br />43,000 acre-feet per year and was estimated to have a salinity of <br /> <br />-17- <br />
